Jaw Plants

March 10, 2009

Ah jaw ah lamp ah dent
ah plates of braided spaghetti
tongued elbow gleaming
slick spit nestled on the gown you
folded in the shower
that slipped guppies
down its crease
and quipped like skull
reflected off the floor
mobility of all those
wind blown banners
hopping on the porches
and eating up all the plants

Process notes

John told us that he and Stacey use the postal service for their collaborations, sending a piece back and forth, each adding usually one line at a time until they both feel it’s done.
